\n" ); document.write( "5x+6y=18
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting 5x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "6y = -5x+18
\n" ); document.write( "Finally, dividing both sides by 6:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/6)x + 3
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "This is in the form of \"slope-intercept\" of a line:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is y-intercept at (0,b)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "In your case,
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/6)x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "slope is -5/6
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept is at (0,3)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
